How the frick is this franchise so well regarded? The first one is good. The second is a legitimately bad movie, the third is laughable, and the fourth is just an embarrassment.

it's a israeli franchise so israeli media shilled it
What's wrong with the third movie?
I am able to laugh at it.

>The hell you will. He's got a two day head start on you, which is more than he needs. Brody's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail already.
>Water? No thank you, madam. Fish made love in it.
It's a dumber version of Raiders full of Phantom Menace-tier slapstick
None of the Indy films are truly bad, but the only really great one is Raiders. Anyone who holds *any* of the sequels in similar regard is an idiot
That's a little different from what OP is saying but I agree the first is a classic. If I had to rate the Indy movies I would go
Raiders - 10/10
Doom - 8/10
Crusade - 9/10
Skull - 7/10
>The second is a legitimately bad movie
Filtered. Doom is so clearly the best in the series its no even funny. Pure action pulp. I hate zoomers/women so much.
>Pure action pulp
Have you watched the movie in the past 10 or even fricking 20 years or are you just going off of half-remembered childhood memories and maybe catching parts of it on TV now and again?
There's like ten fricking minutes of action in a two hour movie. The opening busby berkeley (but in Chinese!) musical intro is longer than every action scene combined.
why do people hate temple of doom so much?
>dark, pulpy colonial atmosphere
>great action scenes
>doesn't rely too much on humour like last crusade but is funny at times
>great cinematography and use of colours
>willie is an intentional homage to the damsels in distress of the old pulp stories and serials
Why do zoomers hate this film because of muh racism and muh sexist woman sidekick? haven't they read the original pulp stories that inspired indiana jones?
Willie and Short Round mean we get a woman and child screaming during the action scenes like it's fricking Goonies
right, so it was inclusive and diverse long before this was a thing. You zoomers should like that sort of thing
I'm curious. Do you know another insult, or do you just scream zoomer all the time whenever anyone disagrees with you?
no, Zoomer covers a wide swath of insult, so it's all I need these days. It contains within it
>homosexual
>Cuck
>soiboy
>Black person
>clueless idiot
>pleb / tastelet
>pussy
>etc, etc
>we get a woman and child screaming during the action scenes like it's fricking Goonies
Like it's an actual woman and child. That's what women and children do when there is danger.
>like it's fricking Goonies
Goonies is a better movie than any Indy movie. And I like Indiana Jones.
>doesn't rely too much on humour like last crusade but is funny at times
Are you fricking serious? There were entire scenes that were just for a cheap laugh, like the ten minute long dinner scene that was literally the same exact joke repeated again and again. There was the five minute musical intro that was based around the joke of "wouldn't it be funny if a showtune was in a foreign language?" Then fricking Dan Aykroyd right after that setting up teh entire plot on the joke of Indiana getting on the wrong plane. Then the ten minute vaudeville routine with shortround and Indie arguing while the woman runs from slapstick setpiece to setpiece behind them. The first entire fricking hour feels like it's taken from an Indiana Jones parody.
>this homosexual right here doesn't like pulp movies
filtered. Hard.
Do you know what pulp is? Temple of Doom was at best a parody of it. It was absolutely not trying to be a pulp movie or attract fans of pulp movies.
>Do you know what pulp is? Temple of Doom was at best a parody of it.
Temple of Doom is the most pulpy of the movies. 1 and 3 are not parodies, but pastiches of pulp genre.
I completely disagree. Ark was a fantastic homage to pulp movies. It felt like it was a legitimate pulp movie. Last Crusade, I admit I'm the least familiar with and only really remember the opening. But Temple of Doom? When I watched it for the first time, I legitimately felt like I had missed a movie in the middle. Which, sure, I guess does make it feel like a pulp movie if you're 60 years old and actually watched them and missed an episode while they were new. But overall it feels like it's making fun of them, not like it's trying to be one.
cope and seethe, go cry to mommy about it. you know nothing gayboy
>There was the five minute musical intro that was based around the joke of "wouldn't it be funny if a showtune was in a foreign language?"
It's not just a joke. It cements how the setting is exotic and the number is also entertaining in itself.
We did not need five minutes of screen time for that. Jones talking in a foreign language to his contact would have been enough. It was pure cliche even when it came out.
>We did not need five minutes of screen time for that.
It's also the opening credits, which were still a thing back then. What would you prefer? The opening credits run over a still shot of a donkey dick? It segues to the setting of the opening scene in the club, there's multiple comedic beats within it as well. It's an entertaining song, it introduces the female lead. It does a lot. It's not just one song eating up 5 minutes.
>Why do zoomers hate this film because of muh racism and muh sexist woman sidekick? haven't they read the original pulp stories that inspired indiana jones?
Pulps are too based for them. They want a lame, sanitized, mickey-mouse pastiche of pulp adventure. Not the real thing.
Like the jumanji remake
this is true, both George and Steven had bad divorces around that time and this movie was a reflection of what a horrible marriage can do to your soul. It is actually the most true to the very thing it is emulating (serials from the 50s) and is by far the most dark and disturbing one in the trilogy, yes trilogy.
George didn't have a horrible marriage, it was just an effectively nonexistent once. Marcia left him because Lucas was a workaholic who spent zero time with her.
Just watched the other night, can confirm, it's pulp kino.
and
are just homosexuals
Temple of Doom is definitely the best.
Name a better action-adventure series
Romancing the Stone was better.
>The first one is good.
Correct
>The second is a legitimately bad movie
No
>The third is laughable,
No
>The fourth is just an embarrassment.
Yes
The first was great, the 2nd was trash, the 3rd was alright. The 4th doesn't exist and I refuse to watch it as it's just another moneygrab.
The first movie is so good that it leaves a mark on everything that came after it.
OP is a homosexual.
This scene ruins the movie. It is literally impossible for a woman of her size to out-drink the man, and barely be affected by the alcohol. In reality, she would be dead.
I've yet to be convinced she's drinking against a man. Looks suspiciously like an old woman to me. I get the point is to make her out to be a badass but still.
They’re dumb fun movies and perfectly embody the adventure genre you zoomer
you: worry about indiana jones
me: watches, the phantom, the rocketeer, sky captain world of tomorrow
we're not even in the same atmosphere you laughable plebeian
I prefer The Man Who Would Be King
> The second is a legitimately bad movie
Seething curry stained hands typed this post
kali maaa kali maaaaa shuck dee day
he was a bit shlockey with his delivery and pronunciation
He fights nazis so there you go
Only in 1 and 3.
The 2nd was the best by far you dumb frick
The trilogy is good. There is no 4th movie.
I like the Grail Quest
And how Indy and Henry Sr. understand what the quest is truly about
shut the hell up, contrarian homosexual
What's even the rationale for thinking Temple and Crusade have a big power gap? Sean Connery?
I'm always hit by how poorly plotted the movies I watched as a kid were, like one thing just doesn't logically lead to another and as a kid you just don't care how they glued together the setpieces you end up remembering. Are the plots fricked?
You have to look at when it came out. It was a new story. The whole booby trap adventure sort of thing was riveting as a kid or young teen.
